Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Miscellaneous/Allow filtering of WhatLinksHere to remove links from templates
Appearance
Allow filtering of WhatLinksHere to remove links from templates
- Problem: When using Special:WhatLinksHere, many of the results aren't in the body of the article, and are just from templates (especially navboxes) - this often makes finding results in the content of an article much more difficult than it needs to be.
- Proposed solution: Special:WhatLinksHere already has (redirect) and (transclusion): add (template link), with a toggle to hide/show results that only link here from links in templates. Ideally, show the results nested in the same way that (redirect) links are - so if a template links to the article, show all articles beneath that.
- Who would benefit: Editors (and readers) who use Special:WhatLinksHere.

- @Pequod76: You need to use the template {{support}} for your !vote to count. If you come back to this page and click the blue [Support] button at the top, that should do it. — OwenBlacker (Talk) 22:49, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
